David Maupin

David Maupin is an American art dealer.

With Rachel Lehmann, he opened the Lehmann Maupin gallery in SoHo, Manhattan, in October 1996. Before opening Lehmann Maupin, Maupin was the director of Metro Pictures.

Born in California, Maupin studied art history at the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Pennsylvania. He studied in Florence during his university year abroad and completed an internship at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice.

Lehmann Maupin gallery has organized and curated exhibitions for international contemporary artists working in all media. The gallery has given a number of artists their first one-person exhibitions in New York City, including Kutluğ Ataman, Tracey Emin, Anya Gallaccio, Shirazeh Houshiary, Do-Ho Suh, and Adriana Varejão.[citation needed] In addition, the gallery has exposed emerging talents, such as Suling Wang, Teresita Fernández, and the Japanese artist Mr., through exhibitions at the gallery and participations in select art fairs.[citation needed]

The gallery's first raw, plywood-panelled space in Chelsea was designed by Rem Koolhaas in 1996. It was a 3,500-square-foot (330 m2) storefront gallery located at 39 Greene Street (near Grand Street). In September 2002 the gallery moved to a bigger space, also located in Chelsea. A second New York gallery at 201 Chrystie Street opened in November 2007. In 2013, Koolhaas designed a 105-square-metre (1,130 sq ft) gallery space in the historic Pedder Building in Hong Kong. The inaugural exhibition featured Korean artist Lee Bul.

Ahead of the inaugural Art Basel Hong Kong in 2013, Maupin joined the fair's selection committee.

Lehmann Maupin launched its first Seoul outpost in the city's Sogyeok-dong neighbourhood in 2017, making it one of the first international galleries to establish a permanent space in South Korea. After four years, the gallery moved to a larger gallery in the Hannam-dong area.

Lehmann Maupin's current three-story gallery space, designed by Peter Marino, opened in Chelsea in September 2018. Shortly after, the gallery inaugurated its nearly 2,000 square feet (190 square metres) black box space for film screenings.
